Muna's 'Gets So Hot' Tour: Less Fire, More Fury

Muna is set to launch their 'Gets So Hot' tour this fall, promising electrifying shows. While pyrotechnics are off the table due to budget constraints, the band intends to deliver unforgettable performances, drawing inspiration from their recent opening stint on Taylor Swift's massive Eras Tour.

The band's latest album, 'Dancing on the Wall,' released about a week ago, explores themes of queer rage. This thematic shift reflects the turbulent global climate over the past four years, including conflicts and political events. The album's high-energy dance-pop sound serves as an antidote to these challenging times.

Lead singer Katie Gavin shared that writing the album while on Prozac has influenced its less overtly sad tone compared to previous Muna releases. The members, all having reached 30 since their last album, have experienced personal growth, affecting their songwriting and perspectives.

Reflecting on their experience with the Eras Tour, Muna plans to incorporate more fan-favorite songs into their headlining shows, aiming for a balance between grand production and intimate connection with the audience. They aspire to emulate Taylor Swift's ability to deliver special, intimate moments for fans.

Previously headlining the All Things Go festival, which Muna playfully dubbed 'Lesbo Palooza,' the band continues to explore their identity and sound. Their latest work moves beyond queer joy to acknowledge and express queer rage, a necessary component of their artistry in the current socio-political landscape.
